Payday came, but my check is gone Paid half my bills for the other half I need
A loan My baby left me for a richer man
I ain't even mad, cause girl, I understand That you need the finer things in life
That I can't provide He can buy you diamond rings

With champagne on ice I can't even take you out
On Friday night But that's alright, that's just my life
I'm so tired of the rain, hope the sun will shine
I wanna walk outside and leave my troubles behind Got no money, can't put gasoline inside

My car, but I don't give a damn Cause I don't need to go far, please help me, Lord
Showed up late for work and lost my job If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have none at all
My baby boy needs a new pair of shoes So I better work fast to get some interviews
Cause the rent is due, and yes it's true I only got half

And the landlord's threatening to put me out on my ass
Every time I take a step, life brings me two steps back
I can't save Jack, that's just a fact
I'm so tired of the rain, hope the sun will shine

I wanna walk outside and leave my troubles behind Got no money, can't put gasoline inside
My car, but I don't give a damn Cause I don't need to go far, please help me, Lord
If you're broke, you know it Then you know what I mean
Ain't homeless or rich, I'm somewhere in between

Said if you're broke, you know it Then you know what I mean
Ain't homeless or rich, I'm somewhere in between
I'm so tired of the rain, hope the sun will shine
I wanna walk outside and leave my troubles behind

Got no money, can't put gasoline inside My car, but I don't give a damn
Cause I don't need to go far, please help me, Lord
I'm so tired of the rain, hope the sun will shine
I wanna walk outside and leave my troubles behind

Got no money, can't put gasoline inside My car, but I don't give a damn
Cause I don't need to go far, please help me, Lord
